Being a lucky girl, I have had a chance to have "High Tea" in many fabulous restaurants. One of my favorite places is always at Bergdorf Goodman's BG Restaurant. It's located on the seventh floor with the loveliest views of Central Park. So when I ran across this illustration, it spoke to me. Tea time is always a treat for all ages. If you are a fan, you know that this weekend is the Grand Finale of Downton Abbey. Let's raise our cups and hold out our pinkie. Cheerio to the show and hello Tea Party.
